The Leslies

This ministry oriented duo is a husband and wife team, working together sharing the gospel through music, and spoken word. Since their marriage in 1987 they have been traveling with a group as they did for many years or ministering on their own as they have since 2003, their message has not changed. Their ministry over the years has taken them from their home in New Brunswick, Canada to Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, as far south as Florida.
It has given them the opportunity to be involved with Sonshine Gospel Cruises, sing aboard some of the top cruise lines.
God has truly blessed this couple's ministry, In the year 2005 they were nominated for The New Artist of the Year Award by the New Brunswick Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

With the long awaited launch of their self titled dedut CD " THE LESLIES" on Cedar Hill Records, a division of The Eddie Crook Company, this couple is bound to soar to new heights.
They have a unique ability to blend the old with the new in order to get the message of God's love for a dying world across to the people they are ministering to.

I'm so happy to have The Leslies join MSB Agency.

Andrew Martin Loves Christmas Time








Andrew Martin, takes a min out of his busy "Gift Of Love Christmas Tour"
To talk about what Christmas is like for the Martin Family




“Snow is falling and the air is crisp. The spruce trees are laden with thick snow and, as you're walking, you see in the distance the lights of home as they glow against the fresh fallen snow. You take in a breath and you smell the wood fire burning inside. Through the windows you see the garland with little white lights as it hangs from the banister of the stairs; the tree in the corner with all of its beauty and you are taken back in your mind to Christmases from years gone by when you were just a little kid.”Ok ... maybe you're not all coming to my house this year so let me share one of our Chirstmas traditions. I just described above what our house looks like starting on November 1st every year. I would decorate earlier but my wife says that the neighbors may look at us funny if I do this in August! We are HUGE Christmas fans here at our house and everybody gets into the decorating and Christmas mood. The funny thing is we decorate our home and then are so busy on Christmas tours that we generally only get a few days here and there to enjoy it! I think that might be the reason we decorate so early. One family tradition we enjoy every year happens on Christmas Eve. We all load in our car, drive around our town and look at all of the lights while sipping on Hot Chocolate. We turn on the radio to listen to the Christmas music play and we all still anticipate (well maybe it's just me) the special news bulletin. The bulletin announces that the Air Force has just spotted an unidentified object and, as the planes scramble to see what it is, you hear the pilot cut in and say, ‘You are not going to believe this! I'm seeing a red sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. Just a minute it's Santa Clause!’ I can remember doing this with my parents when I was just a kid and now my wife and I enjoy it with our girls.”

So whether your family tradition is like that or not, the greatest thing is to gather with those you love at Christmas and enjoy the moment (with soft Christmas Jazz music of course, and a fireplace, and decorations, and the food, and.........).”


I have never been a big fan of Christmas CD's But Andrew's Gift Of Love Christmas CD is the one that this guy listens to.
